Could be a couple different things.. clicking sounds like it may be the power supply, or it could be the bulb as well. My suggestion is don't sink money into repair it will be costly and not worth it considering you can purchase a 55" LCD for $650 now with a superior picture quality. Spend about 1.5K and you can get a fantastic one.

I had the same problem, but I saw the events leading to it. I was watching TV, went to help the wife, heard a pop, came back to find the TV off. Turned it on, heard the same click you described. I believe you need a new bulb. Mine lasted around 2 years of heavy use. Bought two on ebay. Make sure to consult your manual for the particulars on the bulb.

It sounds to me like your bulb has burned out. Look behind your TV for where the bulb housing is and pull the bulb out to check if it's burned out or not. You'll know when you look at it if it's toast.
